Hi Giggers<br>
<br>
So I'll just put out there, that I had another great weekend
tabling. <br>
We are at around 240 people through the website, which is great. <br>
Everyone I talked to but one grumpy old man was very interested, and<br>
made some great contacts. <br>
<br>
Here is a big reminder about our meeting coming next week. <br>
This is going to be a great talk about the new technologies you <br>
will be using over the DavisGIG network.<br>
<br>
We'd like it to be well populated so please come if you can. <br>
<br>
I'll be putting this around social media. <br>
<br>
Please like the DavisGIG facebook group and refer to it from there
if you can <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
RAN<br>

These terms, you have no doubt heard of, are the next generation of
human computer interface. They are being deployed to mass market in
2016, and you might know some of the more popular products such as
OculusVR, Microsoft HoloLens or Google Glass. A roaring-fast
fiber-optic network is needed in Davis to create the necessary
platform to utilize this new technology.<br>
